Pittsburgh Steelers legend Terry Bradshaw has made his Super Bowl prediction for the 2025 season and he has a team from the AFC North winning it all.
No, it's not the Steelers, but rather the Baltimore Ravens, who Bradshaw envisions beating the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship Game before winning the Big Game.
“It’s not gonna be the Chiefs. I think Baltimore-Buffalo in the [AFC] championship game. I think Baltimore’s gonna get over the hump this year. I’m pulling for Pittsburgh, always will," Bradshaw told Newsweek.
When it comes to the Steelers, Bradshaw thinks Pittsburgh isn't "ready yet," and he isn't high on the Cincinnati Bengals' chances of winning the Super Bowl because of, you guessed it, their defense.
"I don't think they're ready yet," Bradshaw said of the Steelers. "Cincinnati, I don't think their defense is good enough yet. It's Cincinnati, it's Kansas City, Buffalo, Baltimore.
"Then you've got Pittsburgh with Aaron Rodgers. They could shock some people. Don't hold me to this, I'm going Baltimore."
The Steelers' ability to go from a team barely good enough to make the playoffs to a Super Bowl contender will mostly rest on the offense.
We do believe Rodgers is still better than Russell Wilson, but that won't mean much if the Steelers fail to protect him, which is certainly a concern after what we saw last season.
Pittsburgh also has serious question marks at wide receiver, where the team doesn't have an adequate No. 2 option behind DK Metcalf.
Knowing all that, we'll have to see it to believe the Steelers can contend for a Super Bowl in 2025.
